Wapen van Amsterdam 1590 - 1639

"Wapen van Amsterdam" is a 17th-century engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert depicting the coat of arms of Amsterdam. The central shield features three white "Xs" on a red field, flanked by two rampant lions, all under a crown. The engraving is a visual representation of the city's history and identity, highlighting its civic pride and religious values. The Latin inscription at the bottom translates to "Remember what God did for you. Teach your children to remember what God did." This artwork, now held by the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable historical document reflecting the Dutch Golden Age.
